Product Description
An air-cooled water chiller is a refrigeration system that removes heat from industrial or commercial processes and transfers it into the surrounding ambient air. It works by circulating chilled water or a water-glycol mixture to absorb heat, then expelling that heat outdoors using fans and condenser coils. [

Efficient Cooling PerformanceWith a 5 Ton (17.5 kW) capacity and a water flowing rate of 1.5 m3/hr, this air-cooled chiller delivers optimal cooling for demanding industrial and commercial setups. The shell & tube or brazed plate evaporator ensures effective heat exchange, while the axial-type condenser fan enhances air movement and consistent operation.
Advanced Digital Controls for ReliabilityA microprocessor-based digital control panel provides precise temperature adjustments within a 7C to 25C range, ensuring operational consistency. The system incorporates vital safety features such as overload protection, antifreeze thermostat, and high/low-pressure switches, guaranteeing dependable performance in temperatures up to 48C ambient.
Robust Construction and Flexible InstallationEngineered from mild steel with a powder-coated finish, the unit is designed for longevity and resistance to harsh conditions. The mounting is floor standing, supporting stable installation both indoors and outdoors. Low operational noise-below 70 dB(A)-further enhances usability in diverse environments.
FAQ's of 5tr air cooled chiller:
Q: How does the 5TR air-cooled chiller maintain cooling efficiency in high ambient temperatures?
